Career Connection

What is Career Connection? It is an on-line job posting system managed by the Student Employment office. Similar to other tools (Monster, Career Builder, etc.) with the additional component of Student Employment staff screening the postings and approving employer accounts. The end result is postings that are true job offerings and not attempts at fraud or are misleading.

Students and alumni may create an account at no charge and keep the account as long as you like after graduation. The account has the convenience of allowing users to upload documents such as: resumes, cover letters, certificates, etc. These are then available to send electronically to employers in response to job postings. The system is also used to announce employer visits, events, and special opportunities.

Sign up today and use this as another tool to land the job you have been looking for!
